Cadcorp Launches Mapestry™ to Revolutionise Location-Based Stakeholder Engagement

Curated by: Gert Jan Wolf - Editor-in Chief for The Critical Communications Review

Cadcorp – An NEC Company has unveiled Mapestry™, a new application that transforms how organisations communicate location-based information with communities and stakeholders. The platform combines interactive maps, images, video, and text into a dynamic online engagement experience, replacing static documents and lengthy reports with responsive, visually compelling web pages.

Designed for organisations that need to present geographic data to non-technical audiences, Mapestry allows users to build and publish unlimited web pages with minimal programming knowledge. A range of customisable "building blocks" and design themes enable content to be tailored for different audiences, while interactive features such as pan and zoom, layer control, and animated scroll triggers bring location data to life.

The result is a portable, shareable web page delivered via a single URL — making complex geographic information accessible to everyone, regardless of technical background.

Mapestry is positioned as a versatile platform across a broad range of sectors. Key applications include community risk management, public consultations, local planning, and housing programmes, with relevance extending to emergency services, local government, and land and property organisations where stakeholder engagement plays a critical role.

"Instead of relying on static documentation, users can now create an animated, interactive narrative around their location data," the company said in its announcement.

Mapestry is available now from Cadcorp
